The joys of seeing

Easter lilies are one of the most beautiful things in nature. I love seeing them this time of year. Of course there are so many beautiful flowers. I recall years ago visiting Pier 39 in San Francisco during a month-long celebration they called Tulipmania. Gorgeous tulips in all colors and wonderful walking tours to see every one of them. Oh and then there was that brilliant flower show at Macy's. Wow!

Where I live now you can see beautiful cactus blooms at this time of year and of course breath-taking vistas in every direction. Pretty much everywhere you look there is something wonderful to look at.

If you are down in the dumps or feeling bad about something, open up your eyes. Yes, there may be bad, but there is always good too, and often it's right in front of our eyes. Experience the joys of seeing. Look up, look down, look all around! Enjoying the beauty of our world is one of the great joys of living!
